The rear end rescue blog - an anal gland surgery diary

Surgery day + 1 month –the final post

Almost one month has passed now, and the furry ones are very well indeed. The fur is growing back on their behind, and there have not been any problems since.

The last days Molly had developed an annoying habit of jumping over my arm, when I tried to hold her tight for washing and inspection.

The stitch removal was a Friday, and I was back to work fulltime the following Monday. Actually I miss being at home with the dogs. We had developed a daily routine following the popular TV shows, and the problems Dr. Phil solves made my 24 hour dog duty seem like a walk at a funfair

And the result: A seriously wounded Winnie the Pooh went to the eternal honey hives…
